Benitez delighted with Napoli preseason progress

Benitez took over from Walter Mazzarri, introducing tactical changes and new personnel.

"In my opinion it has been really good. The players' commitment is there, everyone is working very hard, and everything around the Dimaro training camp is fine. I was really pleased.

"The team has been adapting to a new manager, new ideas and we changed the system, the way that we train. You can see during the games we've already played that they are enjoying time with the ball, working hard in defence. Tactically the team is different, but they are trying to do their best.

"I'm really pleased, because the evolution of the team is continuing. Every week and with every game you can see that they are improving."
